What sort of racist assumes that Black folks support Dems because they don't know what is in their own best interests?What sort of moron gripes about black folks not getting treated equally.....then supports the very party responsible same?
Raise your paw.
Raise your hood.
The protest and riots then are not the same as now. This whole situation today with the virus and the riots is near purely propaganda driven. A good percentage of the top tier rioters are criminals. With mislead others doing the work of agenda driven elites.In short the people of France protested what they saw as an unfair distribution of wealth and political power being held by a small minority. The protests were met with violence by the existing powers and what resulted was a long period of revolution, anarchy, and violence. A cautionary tale for us today: listen to the protesters while you still can.No, not syphilis, the scourge of the 15th century, ‘The French Disease,’ as it was once called. But three centuries later, in the late 18th century…..that fateful revolution that was an attack on morality and monotheism. And not only did the Bolsheviks see it as their model….but we are seeing its effects on our streets today.

Yet, with all those geniuses behind the movement, Rousseau, Diderot, et al, shouldn’t they have intuited that it would get out of control, and presage the end of Western Civilization. Call me Jerimiah, but I say that that is exactly were we are today: looking the abyss in the face.

In a few short years, three millennia was dismantled…..leaving us with the remnants, ANTIFA, BLM, the Democrat Party.
3. This is what we had within our grasp: Compared to an earlier time, mothers and their children can expect to survive childbirth, and their children live another eight decades. Almost every American lives in a climate-controlled home with food and a TV. They have a car, refrig, microwave, and a cell phone. We have computers with internet, buy products from all over the globe, and cheaply, at that. None will be enslaved, few murdered, and free to have unpopular views or lifestyles. You can worship as you wish, or not at all. There is no institutional racism, and no governmental requirement to have or not have children. There is no aristocracy, no perennial wealth class, and most will die richer than when they were born. Western Civilization, here, and promised to the whole world.
They say that within each of us we carry the seeds or our own destruction, based on our choices.
Seems the same is true of entire cultures, and societies.
And the French Revolution was one of those seeds.
1 & 2 are ancient history, none of those Dems are alive today.Are you suggesting that anything in this post isn't 100% accurate, true and correct?

Kyle Rittenhouse shoot 3 people in Kenosha recently. Gov't says was probably an illegal act. Did God give him the right to do it?10. Two revolutions, both taking aspects of the Enlightenment, and two drastically different outcomes. :
One can ascribe to one of the two views: there is no middle ground. Either rights come from God, or are whatever government allows them to be.
The American version, based on Locke, Blackstone, Montesquieu and the Bible, ,and the importance of individual rights, and the French version with its rejection of Judeo-Christian values placed man’s value only in terms of his role as part of the collective. This is intrinsic in the Democrat view of the electorate.
“Article III - The principle of any sovereignty resides essentially in the Nation. No body, no individual can exert authority which does not emanate expressly from it.” French Declaration of Rights, 1789
Although attributed to Rousseau, it was Diderot who gave the model for totalitarianism of reason: “We must reason about all things,” and anyone who ‘refuses to seek out the truth’ thereby renounces his human nature and “should be treated by the rest of his species as a wild beast.” So, once ‘truth’ is determined, anyone who doesn’t accept it was “either insane or wicked and morally evil.” It is not the individual who has the “ right to decide about the nature of right and wrong,” but only “the human race,” expressed as the general will.
Himmelfarb, “The Roads to Modernity,” p. 167-68
Disagree....and the consequence is death. Such is the view of every totalitarian regime….and on display in our streets today, under the auspices of the Democrat Party.
And they want your vote.
4. The Enlightenment, so optimistically named, was a fork in the road for humanity. One side of that fork, based on the ideas that God created every human in His image and human beings are able to investigate and make rational conclusions about the world. But another side that was based solely on mankind making itself god and relying on his own judgement. A sad mistake.
5. The mistake should have been seen early on, as the first side gave us the American Revolution, and the second, the slaughterhouse of the French version.
“The juxtaposition between the American Revolution and the French Revolution demonstrates the contrast btween the strains of Enlightenment thinking. The American Revolution, based on Lockean principles regarding the God-given rights of individuals, the value of social virtue, and a state system created to preserve inalienable individual rights, broke sharply with the French Revolution, based on Rousseau’s ‘general will,’ Voltaire’s scorn for traditional virtue, and an optimistic sense of the perfectibility of mankind through the application of virtue-free reason.”
Ben Shapiro, “The Right Side Of History,” p. 122
